TM500 Super re-flash/password reset

Hi all, i just got my first Technomate box the tm500 super from a supplier that locks the boxes with a password (ftp password). It's been pre flashed with UR image, basically it was a plug and play box. So now i want to go in and edit files etc but i cant because of the password, i cant do the tuxbox trick as i need the password in order to launch tuxbox. I have tried both the default password of the box and the image but neither work, this is a password that my supplier put on the box, i don't know what it is and i can't contact him to find out.

What i would like to know is what i have to do to remove the password? From what i have read it is a case of starting from scratch, so will a factory reset remove any passwords, then if i re-flash the UR image can i do this over my network or do i have to use a null cable? I apologise in advance if i sound like an amateur, it's because i am!

I haven't just come on here and asked this without researching, i have spent days looking around various forums and i cant seem to find out if a factory reset removes any passwords.

press the yellow button, is there something there called Tuxcom, if not, press the blue button and see if you can download it. a long time ago a rouge image was released that did this to people receivers, so i wrote a tutorial on how to use tuxbox to remove the passwords, ill see if i can find it

Thank you all for your advise.

digidude, I came across your guide the other day when searching the net for a solution, it's a great guide so thanks for that. The problem i have though is when i press yellow i get this screen:

When i select tuxbox commander i get this screen:

I have tried all passwords i could find including the image password (blank), the default box password and the override code 2011 none of which work, i believe this is a password that my supplier put on to attempt to stop his customers from accessing the cline.

If i come out of that and press the blue button i get this screen:

If i then press blue again (panel) i get this screen:

Im guessing i have no choice but to reset my box, reflash it with the latest UR image, find a new server and edit the cccam cofig file via mini-web, but i just wanted someone who knows what they are doing to confirm it as i am still learning and don't want to brick my box, i paid quite alot of money for it and i've only had it 2 weeks (i know i must have MUG written on my forehead). I can't tell you how much i have read over the last week on this subject and im still not sure if what im thinking is correct lol.
